Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - itchy tasty
Some of the best information in this book is the Live Selection tips. They tell you exactly what will happen and which would be a waste of time or not the best choice. I think this is a time saver. Also, it gives nice tips on what you should dump or take with you in certain situations so you're not running back and forth to save rooms wasting time.

Also good information on how to fight nemisis and where enemies are lurking so you're prepared when you go in rooms and around corners.

The problems I had was the maps which could read the room titles or anything other than jsut D22, D16 or U46. That's pretty confusing when you're on a timer or running from an enemy-- you could get lost and have too backtrack right into them.

It doesn't tell you exactly how to solve the puzzles, claiming they change every time the game is loaded. Okay, I buy that, but there were other things also that were unhelpful. For example, with the boss fight nemisis after the trolley accident, it says to keep throwing mine throwers at him to get him to drop the grenade launcher.

I played this scene AT LEAST 20 times in a row before I discovered that hitting him in the chest with mine throwers until empty, then hitting him with freeze rounds brought him to his knees. Basically, the book reminds you throughout to master the dodge--which I STILL can't do, and you will be okay. The fight with the grave digger is the same way. It's not about dodging, it's about
*speed*. As soon as you turn on the power to the ladder, get over to it and press X and it will ask you "do you want to climb up the ladder?" It's like at this point the games stops to ask the question--stopping the grave digger too.

You answer yes, and you go on up, you don't have to deal with the GD anymore because the game never stops in that capacity. I have learned that beating on the controller for the Dodge hasn't really helped me yet. However, this book isn't completly useless. It helped me enough that I could play comfortably without getting stuck or frustrated, and I was able to finish fine. If you can get it used, do it.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - I honestly can't recomend this guide.
This guide was not very helpful to me at all. Almost no detail in the maps, didn't help out with puzzles (thats not too big but it could've explained how to get the solution), some screenshots in the wrong place and some misleading information.

First of all, the walkthrough is very dull. It'll tell you how to get to certain areas, but I found several screenshots in the wrong place, and the walkthrought moved very quickly. There wasn't enough detail to tell me what I'm running into. They don't tell you how enemy placements work, or what items could be replaced as.

The Quick-Decisions card was nice, but I could've gotten along without it. Also, the guide doesn't tell you what items nemesis drops. While it would tell me sometimes, something was always missing.

The puzzle solutions that they claim to be there, aren't really there. They hardly tell you how to get to a solution. For example at one point in the guide when your searching for a password it reads and I quote "Just look around for a while and bingo! (That's not the password)." The problem with this? What am I looking for? I don't know! It just tells me to look around. Every other guide I saw told me EXACTLY what I was looking for at that point in the game.

The maps are from the ingame so of course they have no level of detail in them, making the maps useless. The only thing this guide really did state to me were the secrets. However, it didn't cover too much about the rankings or the mini-game.

My Advice, VERSUS BOOKS and BradyGAMES made a guide to RE3 and they're much better than this. (The BradyGAMES guide even tells you what's in Jill's diary!) So you might want to looke away from Prima for this guide.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - This is supposed to HELP!!?????!!
Hate to have to say this, but I've gotten better help in a game from the opposing pitcher. Not only did it not help, but it was hard to muddle through. Prima should hire good writers even if thy don't intend to put out good guides.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Like A Perfect Teacher's Aid for the Game
I have played through Resident Evil 3 about 40 times now. Itis one of my all time favorite games (along with R.E.2), but it wasn'tuntil I had beaten the game a few times when I got this. I boughtthis guide because I kept on dying against Nemesis and wanted help.Well, then I started finding secret items throughout the game, andpretty soon I became the unstoppable player to the point where Istarted to yell down at Nemesis even before we started to fight.

I,before this, never knew how to use red herbs, how to make gunpowder C,or the best weapon arrangements. He also went into detail of maps andscenarios that I may never get myself into. He clearly had allplayers in mind when writing this. I learned the secrets of theseries even after I had gone through this game before and itspredecessor about 25 times. This is the perfect aid for people new tothe series, new to this title, and for the hardcore veterans whothought that they had reached playing perfection (like me).
